Cygnet Law in Redcar has scored with a local under 13s football team by sponsoring their new away strips.
Redcar Town FC Under 13s (Whites) Football Team are part of a group of community teams for boys and girls ages under 8s to under 17s, two ladies’ teams, a senior men’s side, an under 23s team and an over 40s team.
The team was looking for sponsorship of nearly £500 and approached the Redcar law firm, which was happy to kit out the team in a new strip for their games away from their home in Mo Mowlam Memorial Park in Redcar.
They will also be showing off their new shirts at the Middlesbrough v Barnsley game on 27 November, where they will participate in penalties as a part of the half time break entertainment.
David Medd, a director and barrister at Cygnet Law, said: “At Cygnet Law, supporting the local community is hugely important to us, and when the opportunity came up to help Redcar Town FC Under 13s with their new away kits, we jumped at the chance.
“Redcar Town FC is doing a fantastic job helping young people and adults to learn and develop team skills and to keep healthy. We’re delighted to be part of that.
“We’d like to wish the team the best of luck in the rest of the season.”
Hugh Doherty, team secretary of Redcar Town FC Under 13s (Whites), said: “On behalf of the Redcar Town FC Under 13 “Whites”, I’d like to thank Cygnet Family Law got their generous sponsorship of our away kit.
“Such sponsorship is imperative within grassroots football and the management and players would like to thank the firm, and in particular David Medd, who took time to visit a training session and watch the players, for the support. We look forward to wearing the kit as we continue our journey through the season.
